Hi George
Was the boy paddling about in shallow water when the wave swells got him or was he already swimming

Glad they were able to rescue. This is why I love seeing the ocean and walking along the shore but when it comes to swimming, give me a pool,

I was in Santa Cruz just a couple years ago. Looked like a pretty big beach area. Glad the kid is okay.
